I don’t install any app that has ads, to the extent that I even uninstalled Google Maps and became a pariah that has no Whatsapp. Most apps are from f-droid, I use OSMAND~ from f-droid, Firefox with ublock origin to browse and pipepipe as youtube client. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ad on this phone and that’s how I like it.

They’re beyond stupid, painting themselves into a corner, it’ll soon be 100% those PR fuckers shilling brands to bots. I don’t have any accounts for three years now, but this finally made me stop lurking. I got rid of the “alt+d-redd” compulsive spasm, removed the site entirely from history.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Omarchy Linux Just Got $8 Million From Tech's Biggest Names
18·1 month agoI don’t choose Omarchy, I don’t need hyprland and don’t like how they embrace vibe coding, but it saddens me that people are so angry. I haven’t read any of his screeds or tweets and don’t give a fuck about any of it, but how is not discounting software on account of project lead’s racism same as… being in the same room with mass children murderers? And their sympathizers? These metaphors are not working.

214·1 month agoYou can disagree over dietary preferences not over “is hitler in my supply chain a problem?”.
I can disagree about whether DHH actually is Hitler. Also, I don’t have a supply chain, I use a Linux OS. I actually have no problems with said OS being made by nazis and/or racists, so long as the software is good. I wouldn’t click a EULA that demands I condone nazis or racism, but that’s a separate story; cancel culture has done nothing good but further divided people. That said, there are legit reasons not to use Omarchy, such as their idea of slopmachines vibefixing bugs directly from user reports.

324·1 month agoWhat the fuck does that have to do with the Linux distro? Many everyday products you use are made by people you don’t agree with. It’s called society.

11·6 months agoLol fucking Telegram, let me block you now.
Because reddit shut its api access off and “rif is fun for reddit” stopped working, duh.
I actually call them sublemmies
Bout tree fiddy
That’s a dead project, killed by CoMaps and just bleeding slowly from the wound. I don’t care about where they’re hosted, but I do about fucking Kayak ads, that’s a deal breaker.
I use and recommend OSMAnd, but if you absolutely need an app that does less, CoMaps is a better choice

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•OK, not to be runde or anything, but why is your banner AI generated
5·1 year agoImpressive footgun. I agree with your point though, it’s jarring.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?
13·1 year agoIt’s not a matter of liking more, reddit was dead for me when they fucked their api. Lemmy still needs content, but the ux is wastly superior

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Remmy for Lemmy: Upcoming iOS client app with modern interface and advanced features
2·2 years agoRespectfully read the room, cramming any LLM in it is a no-install for me. I don’t need summaries, wouldn’t give 100MB or a CPU cycle for it.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Mozilla hit with privacy complaint over Firefox user tracking
101·2 years agoHopefully this makes some of the Firefox shills finally realize it’s time to change our recommendations.
There’s still nothing better, you just have to be careful to block all their moneymaking bullshit attempts like save-your-shit-into-our-pocket and virginity-preserving assfucking. I use Fennec on android, though.

Also, it worked markedly shittier on an unemulated speccy. This was the same year that saw the arcadey pinnacle of Jetpac and this glitchy creepy grindfest that challenges only patience and tolerance to noise gets itself a golden joystick for originality because of using lolrandom toy sprites.
Edit: I’m actually still mad 39 years later they made me fiddle with a screwdriver to load that shit


Osmand is so good, Maps is a shittier alternative these days. I only use Osmand and occasiobaly “gmaps wv” wrapper for google maps from fdroid if I need traffic density.
